Chapter 91 Three Vows
“What’s written on this paper?” Chu Fengge said, leaning his head.
However, when he saw clearly what was written on the flower note, he immediately frowned.
“I really hate this kind of arrogant and inarticulate bastard!” He complained unhappily, and then asked Gu Xu, “Do you know what these sentences mean?”
Gu Xu pondered for a moment and replied: "Since the 'Lantern Festival' is mentioned, it must be a riddle - and its answer probably points to a certain place in this house."

"Then can you guess its answer?" Chu Fengge asked next.
Now that Gu Xu is by his side, Chu Fengge is too lazy to use his brain.
“The answer is very simple,” Gu Xu replied, “round, with water, no fish or shrimp, and often people passing by - it is obviously a well.”
After all, there is no such thing in this world water supply system.
People need to go to wells to pick up water for daily use.
That’s why “the sun shines on people’s faces every day.”
"Oh." Chu Fengge nodded, pretending to be "I have guessed it a long time ago."
Then Gu Xu looked at Tang Hui: "Master Tang, do you know where the well is in this house?"
Tang Hui replied: "I remember the yard in the northeast corner. There is one in there."
He paused for a moment, then continued: "But, two little brothers, I can't go with you this time. I failed the first test just now. There will be evil spirits chasing me soon. In order to save my life, I must go to my refuge as soon as possible.”
"It's okay, Master Tang," Gu Xu said with a smile, "The information you just provided us has been of great help to us. We are still thinking about how to thank you!"
"Little Brother, you are so polite." Tang Hui also started to smile and say polite words, "Actually, I am helping you just for my own selfish reasons.
"In the past twenty years, that's amazing. Hongbi' has been hidden in this house, but no one has ever seen its true appearance. And with my own shallow talent and knowledge, it is obvious that I cannot pass the many tests it sets.
"So, I can only place my hope on others, hoping that someone can help me see the day when the 'Jinghong Pen' will see the light of day again.
"Little brother, you must help me realize it. What a wish! ”
"Since Mr. Tang has such expectations, I will definitely do my best!" Gu Xu said with sincere eyes.
After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, looking very happy with each other.
However, I am afraid only the two of them know how many sentences in this conversation are true and how many are false.
Then they parted ways.
Tang Hui walks northwest to the northwest corner tower.
Gu Xu and Chu Fengge walked northeast to find the well mentioned in the riddle.
At this time, the Lu family's ancestral house had become dark and cold again.
Gu Xu had to try his best to drive the true energy in his body to barely resist the biting cold and prevent his body from being completely frozen.
They walked along the Chaoshou Veranda, passing through large and small rooms and courtyards, and finally arrived at an inconspicuous courtyard in the northeast corner of the mansion.
Gu Xu quickly recognized that this was where the servants lived.
The well mentioned in the riddle is located in the corner of this small courtyard.
This well is circular in shape.
The well has a low edge and is made of gray marble. The stone surface is uneven and has faint traces of moss.
Beside the well, there is a tall elm tree - its leaves have long fallen off; there is still a thin layer of white frost on its branches. And on its crown, there was a blood-stained white silk hanging, fluttering gently in the cold wind, adding a bit of a chilling atmosphere to the gloomy environment.
"The 'Lantern Lantern Festival' will be held here?" Chu Fengge looked around, feeling incredible, "Isn't that guy named Tang trying to fool us?"
Gu Xu did not answer immediately.
He gathered his true energy to his fingertips and transformed into a ball of bright light.
With this light, he looked down at the well.
At this time he discovered that the well had become a dry well - and at the bottom of the well, there was a pile of bones!
"Could it be that when the Lu family was massacred, the bodies of the family members and servants were thrown into this well?" He secretly guessed in his heart.
He tentatively placed the flower note in his hand on the edge of the well.
In an instant, an orange fire lit up not far away, and there were noisy shouts and the sound of swords clashing.
A few seconds later, several figures appeared in front of them.
Standing at the front was a young woman dressed as a servant - Gu Xu quickly recognized her identity as Lu Shiyao's personal maid Shu Yan.
But her appearance at the moment was terrible.
She was in ragged clothes, walking unsteadily, her hands were shackled, her skin was covered in bruises, and there were tears on her face. Every footprint of hers was stained with red blood.
From her eyes, Gu Xu saw the anger from the heart and the helpless despair.
Behind her, there were several men who looked like soldiers - but they were all disheveled and had slutty smiles on their faces.
"Is this the image of the incident..."
Gu Xu found that he seemed to have turned into air and could pass through these people's bodies without being able to contact them at all.
"The women in the Lu family's mansion feel different from the decayed flowers and willows in the brothels outside!" A soldier chuckled, his eyes sweeping around the body of the maid Shuyan unscrupulously, "Now that she has to be put to death, I still feel it's a pity."
"She's just a maid. She's so happy now, so there's no pity," his companion said over and over again, while slowly pulling out the waistband "I will enter the room inside later and meet those noble ladies and ladies. That will be exciting!"
"I will keep in mind the humiliation you have done to me today," At this time, Shu Yan said in a calm tone, "Even if I die and become a devil, I will never forget it."
"The servants of the prison officials dare to threaten us. ?" The soldier reached out and grabbed her chin and said viciously, "The treason your master committed will not deserve mercy even if he humiliates you ten thousand times."
"It is impossible for Mr. Lu to commit treason," Shu Yan said indifferently, "He was wrongly accused."
"Unjustly? The treason committed by the Lu family is irrefutable. His Majesty the Emperor personally judged it. How dare you "Is it unfair?"
"Master Lu is innocent," Shu Yan repeated the words again, with no look in his eyes.
"Did you act too roughly just now and make this girl stupid?" The soldier looked at his companions and joked with a smile.
Shu Yan ignored them and continued:
"If the Lu family is really unjust, where my head will fall later, even a little bit of my blood will fly on the white silk ribbon;
"If the Lu family is really unjust, in the dog days of June from now on, Three feet of auspicious snow will fall from the sky;
"If the Lu family is really unjust, Qingzhou will suffer from drought for three years from now on."
The soldier ignored her.
He pulled out his sword with a bang, and while continuing to make vulgar jokes, he slashed at Shu Yan's neck with the sword.
